Transforming Dementia Care Through Music | Kaylie Glenn | TEDxOhioStateUniversity [Video]

For as long as she can remember, Kaylie Glenn has been in love with music. At an early age, this led her to use her talents to help bring light to the darkness for those living with dementia. Join Kaylie Glenn as she challenges the imagery surrounding dementia care and shares a way for people to continue making memories and building meaningful connections with each other, in spite of a disease that takes those away. Kaylie Glenn, B.S. Neuroscience, is a recent graduate of The Ohio State University. Kaylie’s journey with using music to help those living with dementia began at a young age, with her creating The Day By Day Project, 501(c)3 nonprofit, at the age of 14. She is the inventor of the Memory Disco™, a multi-sensory group music experience designed to meet the needs of those living with dementia. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
